 My gown, Except Mine Is White/White!! |
Wedding Dress
Purchased The Gown!
I wish Alfred Angelo showed this gown in the White/ White style. That is the style/color that I purchased. The website shows the gown in white/claret.... IF I HONESTLY SAW THIS GOWN ON THE SITE FIRST, I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT TRYING IT ON!!!! But when I saw the white/white style in the salon, I fell in love with it! Before I tried it on I knew this was the dress! The veil I purchased is a Swarovski Veil...... IT IS GORGEOUS!!!!!! When I get a chance to take a pic, I will!!!!!

Music
Booked The DJ!!!!!
So, the Dj has officially been booked! John is great! I worked with his wife at the Rec. Center and always remembered how interactive he was as their event DJ. He does this kind of work on the side, but he is sooo good at it! He does more weddings in the area than any proff. DJ! And he had every piece of music I wanted. ( But I am old fashioned, so I didn't really think it would be a problem!) So far, here is what we have decided on for some of the main music events!
CEREMONY- Prelude- Ave Maria Bridal Party Entrance- Cannon D Brides Entrance- I Can Only Imagine- ( Piano Intro) Bride/ Groom Exit- Somewhere Over The Rainbow- Instrumental COCKTAIL HOUR- Pretty much Sinatra, Bennett, Fitzgerald, Holiday, ETC. RECEPTION- Bridal Party Announcement- Parents Announcement- We Are Family Bride/ Groom Announcement- Love's Theme ( Barry White & The Love Unlimited Orchestra) First Dance- Endless Love ( Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey) Cake Cutting- You Are So Beautiful ( Joe Cocker) Mother/ Daughter Dance- Because You Loved Me ( Celine Dion) Grandmother/Grandson Dance- Bridal Bouquet Toss- She's A Lady ( Tom Jones) Garter Toss- Whatta Man ( Salt N Peppa/ En Vogue) Garter Exchange- Hot Legs ( Rod Stewart) Last Dance- Last Dance ( Donna Summer) Send Off- Somewhere Beyond The Sea ( Bobby Darin) We thought it would be cool to use since we are going on a cruise for our honeymoon! |

Caterer
I absolutely LOVE Toni!
The woman should be sainted! She has been sooo good to us with this whole ordeal. We didn't want anyone going home starving and the menu that Toni has compiled surely will not allow starvation! I have been to quite a few weddings where the event took place in the evening and very light appetizers were served. I'm talking maybe 5 appetizers. Only 1 wedding I have been to ( AND IN!!) have I not left wanting to go to the nearest fast food joint ( Luv Ya Jen!). So to ensure the nutrition of our guests, here is the menu!!
Appetizers Begin at 4:30 Domestic Cheese Display Fresh Fruit Display Crudités with Sun dried Tomato Dip & Spinach Roquefort Dip Mamas Mild Crab Dip with Grilled Pita Points House Smoked Hickory Rib Fingers Seared Tuna Medallions served with Pineapple Mango Salsa and Wasabi Dip Oysters Rockerfella Crab Stuffed Mushroom Dinner Buffet Served TBA Blackberry Chicken Salad with Grilled Portabella Mushrooms, Roquefort Cheese and Candied Pecans. Fresh House Made and Baked Bread and Bread Sticks Jalapeno Corn Bread with Pure Maple Syrup Crystal Coast Clambake Served with Steamed Veggies and Assorted Steamed Shellfish Eggplant Crepes Baked Manicotti Roasted Red Potatoes Chicken Roulade Santa Fe Wild Rice Pilaf Baked Salmon with a Dill Honey Mustard Glaze Chef Carving Station Off Premises ~ Tenderloin Dessert Assorted Dark and White Chocolate Truffles & Key Lime Pie Squares She is also throwing in a Hot Coffee/Tea Bar with the fancy coffee glasses, a champagne fountain, and fruit for our Interactive Prosseco Bar!! |
